1.6 bars partial pressure Oxygen is considered unsafe / hazardous.

Nitrogen also becomes toxic, requiring you to substitute it with helium (or hydrogen).

It’s why I’ll always remain happy with recreational diving at depths less than 40m :) Tech divers are a bit crazy imo. Sure, there’s nice views to be had (if you bring a lot of light), but it’s not worth the risk for me.
